A-Rod is having a solid season by most people's standards, but not by his. His OBP is 30 points lower than his career average and he's slugging 90 points lower. He hasn't had an OPS this low since 1995, his sophomore season.

my scent?...like making love to a lumberjack
<TACKLE> i will ngata give you a bj raji
<+BOE> Scott, with Burfict's character concerns (whether legit or not) you think Pioli would draft him. :D
<+ScottWright> Why not. Baldwin does need a sparring partner...

Ya its dumbass thought to wonder about a guy who is putting up below average numbers for himself and having injury problems after being busted for past roid usage. Clearly coming out of nowhere.

No its more that the steroids angle has been played to death on the internet and by sportsreporters and while it was a legitimate concern from a legal standpoint, most fans have moved on. Obviously baseball itself turned a blind eye to it, so why should we care? Tons of players were doing it so the playing field wasn't as inequitable as it was portrayed. Finally we can put this nonsense issue to rest and just enjoy the game again, except when somewhat casual fans or message board folk constantly bring it back to the forefront to cause an uproar.

We don't care about speculation that will never be confirmed. So if you want to consider the steroids bit, then please do so somewhere else.

So new rule, NBA: Unless you have a root canal at halftime, SHUT UP AND PLAY!

Being outed for roids then having a sudden drop in numbers the following season raises a red flag to me. How is it a non issue when people still get busted for performance enhancers and of course the popular HGH? The forum is willed with speculation that can never be confired. Who is the better qb? This defense compared to this defense.

I honestly think that's a great idea. They got to get a decent system that they lack now, and they aren't cutting it at the Major League level. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Florida Marlins type of firesale.
